晨讀英文美文欣賞

　　堅持每天的英語晨讀對於提升英語閱讀能力十分有用，下面小編為大家帶來，歡迎閱讀欣賞!

　　：真正的高貴

　　In a calm sea every man is a pilot.

　　But all sunshine without shade,

　　all pleasure without pain, is not life at all.

　　Take the lot of the happiest — it is a tangled yarn.

　　Bereavements and blessings, one following another,

　　make us sad and blessed by turns. Even death itself

　　makes life more loving. Men come closest to

　　their true selves in the sober moments of life,

　　under the shadows of sorry and loss.

　　In the affairs of life or of business,

　　it is not intellect that tells so much as character,

　　not brains so much as heart, not genius so much

　　as self-control, patience, and discipline,

　　regulated by judgment.I have always believed that

　　the man who has begun to live more seriously

　　within begins to live more simply without.

　　In an age of extravagance and waste, I wish

　　I could show to the world how few

　　the real wants of humanity are.To regret

　　one’s errors to the point of not repeating them

　　is true repentance. There is nothing noble in being

　　superior to some other man. The true nobility is

　　in being superior to your previous self.

　　：人在旅途

　　Wherever you are, and whoever you may be,

　　there is one thing in which you and I are

　　just alike,at this moment, and in all the moments

　　of our existence.We are not at rest;

　　we are on a journey. Our life is not a mere fact;

　　it is a movement, a tendency, a steady,

　　ceaseless progress towards an unseen goal.

　　We are gaining something, or losing something, every day.

　　Even when our position and our character seem to

　　remain precisely the same, they are changing.

　　For the mere advance of time is a change.

　　It is not the same thing to have a bare field

　　in January and in July. The season makes the difference.

　　The limitations that are childlike in the child are childish

　　in the man.Everything that we do is a step

　　in one direction or another. Even the failure to do something

　　is in itself a deed. It sets us forward or backward.

　　The action of the negative pole of a magnetic needle is

　　just as real as the action of the positive pole.

　　To decline is to accept — the other alternative.

　　Are you nearer to your port today than you were yesterday?

　　Yes, — you must be a little nearer to some port or other;

　　for since your ship was first launched upon

　　the sea of life you have never been still

　　for a single moment; the sea is too deep,

　　you could not find an anchorage if you would;

　　there can be no pause until you come into port.
